pretty boring regular clapping. by the way, the speaker he clapped for right before getting arrested: his wife. literally applauding his wife for speaking up at town meeting.
they probably asked everyone to remain completely silent and had setup"rules" for applause between speakers… knowing that 1) they don’t want people to get riled up 2) it gives them pretense to remove people who say literally anything when not standing at the podium.
I don’t have a direct link to a file but here’s a clip on a regional (Nebraska) news affiliate:

Man claps for his wife and gets arrested. That’s true love.
In the cause against earth-destroying data centers, no less.
This physics teacher is a hero.
I imagine he’ll receive deep respect and endless accolades from staff, students, and the community at large.
